Culverstone Green: your questions answered
Can the van park in Trosley Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
Is Culverstone Green close to London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we’ll explain the options before booking.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
That varies: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We’ll agree it in writing.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Burger vans are common at events. A chip van gives visitors something different. Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why book our van in Culverstone Green
- No kitchen needed
- All the chip-shop extras
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- No surprises in your quote
See our pricing or the cost guide.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
What the van needs
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- Information about power and water
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
